So when did Little Italy start going downhill? It seems like it happened really fast because around the early 90s it still looked the same but it obviously changed by 2000. Did it really happen that fast?
Well, I wouldn't call it downhill, Nicky. If you can pay $2500 a month for a studio, you're probably doing okay. But I get what you're saying

And yes, while it wasn't overnight, the downtown Little Italy (Mulberry Street) changed at a MUCH faster rate than the outer borough Italian neighborhoods. But then again, the outer borough neighborhoods don't have too many real estate agents making a million dollars a year. And that ain't a coincidence
